Time is ticking

We all need to do whatever we can to stop the world from going kaboom ;p

Stop thinking "They've got experts working on it, Why should I bother ?"
No... you need to take part in it.... in anything...
Just start by doing the simplest thing that you can do.
Try to care a little

I know the case is not that simple....
In some cases, when you are uneducated and you are poor, you are willing to do anything to earn a living. so life is hard for them.
that's why there are animal poachers, people who cut down trees, they do just about anything to survive.
The masterminds behind them is the one to blame, the one taking the most profits out of the whole situations.
Those are the situations that a lot of us don't have control of, unless of course, you're the one buying illegal orangutan baby or buying illegal wood.

But the things that we can do,
We need to understand that if we don't care, we won't have a place to live anymore.
"If we rise above 2 degrees, all hell breaks loose" David Suzuki
Haven't all the "unnatural" natural disasters lately given you enough hint ? or Do you need a bigger sign that the world is "angry" ?
You don't have to be an activist or live in a treehouse to help save the earth.
Start by doing whatever you can, bring your own cloth bag to supermarkets, bring your own water bottle rather than buying a plastic bottled water every time, don't waste water when brushing your teeth, don't waste water when washing the dishes, whatever..... anything... just start now.
There are a lot of sites that can help you understand more and will advice you what you can do to help save the earth, but you need to want to do it and you need to start now.

The bad thing is....
Since "time is ticking" there are more of the opportunists who think that they need to "take in" whatever they can and make the most money before the earth is depleted of all of its natural resources. They don't care, they're just greedy.

The good thing is....
There are more and more people who are aware of these things, they know that the time is ticking and they are working in doing whatever they can.
They're working in their own area of expertise, in eco-architecture, in eco-friendly products, in making movies to create awareness, in service design, in eco-travel, in eco-farming, in organic gardens, and in so many other areas and I believe it all starts in doing what we can in our simple everyday lives.
They are the optimists
They are the ones who has hopes.
We need to join them :)

As it is said in "Home"
"it's too late to be a pessimist"

"One has no right to say it's too late........I think if you feel that it is hopeless.......then shut the bloody hell up and get out of here, because you've given up, fine, that's your decision, but get out of here, there's no point in telling people there's nothing that can be done.........I'm not an optimist or a pessimist..........I just have hope"
David Suzuki

We don't know what's going to happen to the world, we don't know if all the destruction in the movie "2012" will happen.
But it's good to be scared, it gives you a reason to start.
What we do know is.... the world's suffering and climate change is real.
Do you want to have colder winder and hotter summer ?
Do you want to experience more hurricanes ?
Do you want the sea level to rise and drown continents ?

Watch these movies to know more
These are real facts.
You may choose to rent them instead of buying, you don't need another DVD to add to that pile of DVDs dusting away in your closet.


"An Inconvenient Truth" with Al Gore


"Home" narrated by Glenn Close


"The 11th Hour" with Leonardo Dicaprio

So now you know that Time really is ticking, faster and faster.........
Let's be hopeful, Let's do what we can
